This is such a great option for families or groups of friends. Sauvian is a sweet village that has a lot going on during the summer and has the benefit of being close to both the beaches and Béziers. The house is in a quieter part of the old centre, so you won't need to worry about noise from neighbours or the road. It's been beautifully decorated and really feels like a home away from home, as the owners live there full-time during the winter months. The garden was recently redone and is now a really relaxing spot with a nice, large pool. Overall, a fantastic property!

Shangri-La is the ideal villa for families or groups of friends looking for a relaxing and hassle-free holiday, with all amenities right on your doorstep (< 5 min walk) and the beach within 4 miles (10 min by car, direct bus). The village of Sauvian has an exceptional Mediterranean atmosphere, complete with a beautiful palm-tree-lined square. The village boasts a supermarket, bakery, butcher, chemist, and several bars and restaurants - all within only a few minutes walk from your holiday home!
The South-East-facing garden is a true gem, a haven of peace and quiet in the heart of the village.

Location and Map
This marker is for indication purpose only
With palm-tree-lined streets and plenty to do, this is the ideal holiday location for people of all ages that are looking for a relaxing holiday with all amenities on their doorstep. There is a small supermarket in the centre of the village; and a larger supermarket at the entrance of the village. Nearby Serignan (less than 5 minutes away) has a Lidl, Aldi, Carrefour Hypermarché, and more. The main square is just around the corner from the house and boasts a bar, a good restaurant, a tattoo parlour, and a hairdresser. Just around the corner of the main square, you'll find more bars, a couple of pizza restaurants, a great bakery (we recommend the almond croissants!), a florist, a Tabac, a park with a playground for children, a butcher, a gym, a chemist, and a doctor's surgery. Just a bit further are tennis courts and pétanque courts, all within easy walking distance of Shangri-La.
Children can play in the local park with a playground while teenagers can join the hustle and bustle of Béziers or Valras Plage independently by bus. Adults can relax on the terrace of one of the multiple bars, or you can attend one of the many events and markets that Sauvian has throughout the summer.
Béziers is only 10 minutes away and is a must-see with cobble-stoned roads winding all around the historic centre and the city's landmark cathedral. Full of bars, restaurants, ice cream vendors, and many shops.
If you're looking for a bit of shopping, head to Le Polygone in Béziers, a beautiful shopping centre with a cinema and bowling alley on the top floor, countless high street shops, as well as a huge array of restaurants - sushi, Italian, tapas, burgers, crêpes - you name it, they've got it.
Other highlights in Béziers include the Canal du Midi and the Neuf Ecluses de Fonseranes (The Nine Locks of Fonserane), various nightclubs, shopping opportunities, and beautiful parks that you'll find yourself not wanting to leave.
Other easy-to-reach villages and towns that are well worth a visit include Pézenas, Narbonne, Montpellier, Gruissan, Sète, Marseillan, Mèze, Roquebrun, Minerve, and much more.
There are plenty of activities to do in the area, from watersports to karting, paintball to ice skating. The area has a lot of natural beauty and offers many trails for walking or hiking in the mountains, through the vineyards, or along the coast.

Further Information
- The house is tucked away in the centre of the village, in a small one-way street/drive. This makes it a very peaceful getaway as the house isn't located directly next to a road and the surrounding roads are one-way and of a maximum speed of 30 km/h. This is also great for small children. The garden is mostly unoverlooked.
- There is a private parking spot (one car) directly in front of the house on the semi-private drive. There is plenty of free street parking within a few minutes walk from the house.
- All bedrooms are equipped with electric shutters, mosquito screens, and fans. The master bedroom and ground floor bedroom have air conditioning.
- Smoke detectors, fire extinguisher, and first aid kit are available, as well as basic cleaning supplies.
- Note that there is a doorbell camera at the front door, there are no cameras inside the house/garden.
- Pool heating is optional, at an extra charge of €150 per week. Depending on the weather, we aim to maintain a pool temperature of 28 degrees Celsius.
- One of the neighbours is a retired "Vigneron", so there may be some light farming activity; mainly during the September harvest.
- Depending on what you want to do during your holiday, a car is not necessary. All basic amenities are within easy walking distance of the house. You can walk to the nearby village of Sérignan (20-30 minute walk) for a larger choice of bars and restaurants. There is a direct bus from Sauvian to nearby Valras-Plage and Béziers; both are around 15 minutes away by bus depending on traffic. From Béziers, you can further explore by bus and train. The area is also relatively flat which makes cycling a popular way to get around to nearby beaches and villages. There are several bike rental options in Valras-Plage.

A real holiday home where you feel good right away
A real holiday home where you feel good right away. We spent a week there with two families (3 adults and 5 teenagers). The house is very spacious and very pleasantly decorated. The swimming pool and the terrace invite you to relax and have fun. The house is really very well equipped. Nothing is missing. Gina is adorable, easily reachable and she recommended top addresses to us.
